Back by Popular Demand: Conversations with Councilors: STRs

Submitted By: Linda.Kozlowski@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Back by popular demand, we’re bringing Conversations with Councilors back for round two.

This time we would like to listen to your thoughts and ideas about Short Term Rentals (STRs). As many of you may know, the Short Term Rental Committee recently presented its survey findings:

For the Survey presentation and raw data, please note the links on the City of Manzanita’s website front page: green block, Announcements and Information.

We’d like to use the results to guide conversations with you about STRs—specifically regarding density mitigation measures and cap adjustments that the council will need to address in the future. We have filled the July dates and are now in August!

These sessions will be on
Tuesday, Aug 1 – 10am
Thursday, Aug 10 – 2pm
Tuesday, Aug 15 – 10am

The location will again be at the Manzanita library and will include two councilors at a time. To ensure your voice is heard, we’ll keep the attendance to 15 (this worked very well). The specifics will be posted on the city’s website. And please note that you do not need to print a “ticket” to attend. When you sign up, your name is captured on a list that we receive. We apologize for the confusion—our intentions are to make it as easy as possible for you to attend while ensuring that it’s an effective gathering.

You can reserve your spot by going to the City of Manzanita Website Calendar, click the date you would like to attend and follow the link to reserve your seat.

City Calendar is here: ci.manzanita.or.us/calendar

Please come with your ideas! They help us to be better positioned to make city policy that residents support. And remember, this is a safe venue for you to be heard—and we want to hear from everyone, not just the loudest voices!

FREE CONCERT: Don & The Quixotes, Sunday August 20th in Cannon Beach

Submitted By: tolovanaartscolony@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Don & The Quixotes host a surf guitar party on Sunday, August 20th in Cannon Beach’s downtown city park.

Get your board waxed and ready to rip because Portland’s premiere instrumental 1960’s-style surf guitar band is coming to boogie in Cannon Beach.

Heralded for their twangy chops and fun loving stage show, Don & The Quixotes surf the wave of beloved guitar tunes inspired by the likes of Dick Dales, the Ventures and more.

The Quixotes promise to dress up, get the party started, entertain the troops, get bodies moving, make references to 17th-century literature, and leave Cannon Beach smiling.

“Many bands these days employ the trappings of surf music to evoke a trendy, lackadaisical aesthetic,” gushed the Portland Mercury, “but Don and the Quixotes are one of the rare gems that actually walk the walk.”

This free, family friendly concert begins at 5:00PM. Attendees are encouraged to bring blankets, low-backed chairs and fully stocked picnic baskets.

The park is located in downtown Cannon Beach, northeast of the Chamber of Commerce at 2nd & Spruce.

The concert is produced by the Tolovana Arts Colony and made possible by a Community Grant from the City of Cannon Beach.

Kathryn Claire & Margot Merah Nehalem Riverfront Concert -Friday August 4th

Riverside Concert- August 4th 6-8pm

Music can bring people together in unexpected ways. That’s certainly the case for Kathryn Claire and Margot Merah. Growing up on opposite sides of the world, you can expect them to never have met.

And yet they did, in the fall of 2013, in a small Irish pub in Amsterdam. The musical connection was instant. Their love of songwriting, traditional music, folk and harmony singing not only brought them together: it took them all over the world.

After 2 and a half years apart, the two reunited last summer in the Pacific Northwest for a tour featuring original and traditional songs and instrumentals along with their favorite covers.

They began writing together on the road and when they toured again in Europe this past spring, they decided the time had come to create an album of music together.

In their live shows and on their upcoming album, Come Close, Come In, these two multi-instrumentalists feature guitar, fiddle, ukulele, bodhran, harmonica and breathtaking vocal harmonies.

Kathryn Claire is based in Portland, OR. She plays violin, guitar and ukulele, has a crystal clear voice and writes songs that are honest, poetic and profound. She weaves together stories and melodies rooted in her classical and traditional musical background. Each song is imbued with an energy and electricity that you can feel, and she has the ability to move seamlessly between genres.

Margot Merah is based in Amsterdam, Netherlands. She is a real ‘storyteller’, exactly what the folk tradition is all about. Margot’s music is comforting, hopeful and melancholic. Her songs tell about life, simple and small, with an eye for detail and the bigger picture. She regularly performs as a solo artist, but prefers to collaborate with other musicians in various projects. Her musicality and sense of harmony and rhythm are perfect for this.

Calling all bread and art lovers!

Our next crafty retreat is on Tuesday, August 1st from 10am-3pm and it’s a celebration of the abundance of summer in the form of food:)

Founder of the famous Astoria bakery, the Blue Scorcher, Iris Sullivan Daire, will be coming to teach us how to make beautiful foccacia bread art using our farm herbs, veggies and flowers!

Why are we baking bread??

Because August 1st is Lammas -the midpoint between summer solstice and fall equinox.

Plants are settings seeds for next year- and in the olden days that meant the first grains were ready to make flour and bread with.

After a long no carbs season you can imagine the party our ancestors threw when beer and bread came back on the menu:)

To celebrate abundance 2023 we’re having a retreat to play with bread, enjoy some sauna time and circle up to call in abundance.

Bread Art Making with veggies and herbs
Wood fired sauna w/ cold plunge & kelp mask
Abundance Ritual with magic pouch to take home!

Bilingüe! Hora del Cuento

Únase a nosotros el jueves 27 de julio a las 2 p.m. para Bilingual Story Time, parte de nuestros eventos especiales de lectura de verano. Iolanda Ramírez explorará palabras y lenguaje leyendo libros en español e inglés. Ideal para hispanohablantes principiantes o nativos, o cualquiera que quiera experimentar un nuevo idioma. ¡Todas las edades son bienvenidas!

Let’s try this in a small town.

Submitted By: codger817@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Let’s try this in a small town/county, meeting once a week for a civil discussion. There will be a zoom meeting every Friday at 9AM for “reds”, “blues”, and “in-betweens”. So far, we’re limited to us 5 “blues” and we really would like some “reds” and “in-betweens”. “Blues” sometime stereotype “others” as stupid and evil. Not the right thing to do, but hard to stop unless “others” step up and represent themselves. Simple ground rules, 1. Everybody brings their best manners. 2. Nobody talks for more than 4 minutes at a stretch. 3. Nobody comes to win an argument or change somebody’s mind. 4. Listening is as important as speaking. I’d like to say this was all my idea, but I was inspired by option 5 of the Braver Angels “Rise for America” program. braverangels.org/rise/ Here’s the link for zoom meeting.

These contemporary works evoke the profound beauty that can exist in objects far removed from their days of peak splendor. Martin Conley has been working with wood for over 40 years, both as a sculptor and a carpenter. Martin likes to fined misshaped and unusual pieces of wood, letting the wood guide the process to a finished product..
Join us Friday July 28, 2023 from 4:30 – 6:30 for our artist reception, meet the artists, enjoy refreshments, and view the new collection.
